Mini Superdrug Haul

Whilst shopping for ball necessities (the fact it's in less than a week is almost too much to handle) I managed to pick up a few new makeup essentials in Superdrug! (I also got a few new fashion items which I'll put in a separate post! )

The first item I picked up is nothing new to me and it's Maybelines Dream Satin Liquid Foundation in Ivory 100. This is my favourite foundation to date, as it has the most gorgeous dewy but matte (is that possible?) finish! Once blended well, and admittedly I do find that it takes a little longer than some other foundations to blend, it's air whipped texture comes into play and your skin is left quite literally feeling like satin - glowing and radiant. It's not too expensive either and I would say that is definitely has medium coverage which is perfect for me! I would t recommend this if you have oily skin, I have normal to combination skin with some blemishes left over from acne and I find that I always have to set this foundation with a good powder.
Next is the Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer in the light shade. This was a new adventure for me and so far I'm neither here not there. I find the colour slightly too orangey for my skin at the moment and haven't seen anything crazy whilst using it but I will need to give it some more time. I don't normally use a Bronzer so any foraging into this area would be almost unknown to me.

Continuing the base make up theme, I also repurchased the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in shade 003 Medium. I love this concealer. As does ever other blogger apparently. The coverage is great and the texture is lovely and blend able. My only slight annoyance is that this shade is ever so slightly too dark for me I think. Shade number two is much pinker and as my skin tone is slightly more yellow I feel like I can't really go a shade lighter! However, if I blend this in really well it works absolutely fabulously. 

Finally I picked up some Eyelure False Eyelashes in 101! I don't have a picture of these because I was too keen and eager to try them out I opened the box and used them before I decided to blog about it. Oops. However, I have found these lashes super easy to apply and I think they are very natural looking. I had never worn falsies and didn't want to go straight into the deep end so I would say these are perfect for beginners like me, or for those of you who like to wear falsies but for a more casual and every day look!

Let me know in the comments if you have picked up anything exciting shopping recently! Part two of my mini haul with be up in the next few days and I hope you all have a lovely week!
